This was actually the artist's comment for my latest deviation, "A Curtain Opened." Go check it out if you want to after reading my journal.

I'm... happy. I don't know exactly how it happened, but last week one day I just told myself, "What the heck are you doing? You're being stupid, selfish, and immature. You are a person with so much talent, you shouldn't waste it acting all depressed and missing out on life! You can choose how you want your life to be." So, that's how I came to this point. I've been happy for almost a week now, and I'm constantly afraid that it won't last, and that I'll sink back to where I was, but even with that fear, a voice in the back of my head keeps telling me this will last. I love feeling so happy with myself and others. I just want to do all I can to make up for who I may have hurt recently, and I'm just trying my hardest to be a good person in general. I don't know what happened exactly. Maybe God does exist, and he's finally answered my prayers for help. I remember the nights when all I could do was go down on my knees and pray for a way for the suffering to end. I'm still not sure on where I stand as far as religion goes, but I feel a little more sure that God does exist in some form and is trying to help us.

For all those who are still suffering, I wish you the best of luck. If you need someone to talk to, feel free to note me or use some other form of communication.

Thank you to everyone who has helped me through rough times. I can't tell you how much it means to me. I don't know where I would be without any of my friends. Thank you everyone.
